Camera not working with iOS 8 on iPhone 5

I've just updatet my iPhone 5 for iOS 8. It works fine, but the camera is not. It's all black (other camera apps are not working either). I've tried to restore, turn on/off and even downgrade. The camera works with iOS 7, but not iOS 8, so it's a software problem. How can I fix it?

iPhone 5, iOS 8

I have exactly same problem. I did soft reset, restore, and everything else. I have even tried to restore to 7.1.2. But it was two days passed Apple allowed to restore. So i went even further. I switched my iPhone 5 screen to my daughter's phone which is running on 7.1.1 and works fine. When I put her screen with camera on mine that running on iOS 8, it doesn't work. So, it is definitely a software issue. Apple should fix this immediately. Btw, mine back cam works fine, only front cam has problem.
